All I want for Christmas...

At my age it's funny when people ask me what I want for Christmas. My husband and I exchange gifts but the reality is that whatever we really want we just go out and buy ourselves. As you get older the holidays becomes a time when you reflect on your life and appreciate what you have, realize the reason you don't have certain things and make a goal to achieve the things you are missing in your life.

I love giving gifts, I love how creative I get when buying gifts and the joy people get opening gifts. I enjoy my daughter's reaction when she opens up a gift she least expected and I love being able to be around those I care about. Granted the holidays makes us realize those we can not be with but we should appreciate the ones we are with. So with that said if Santa was REALLY real I would ask for....
